I use a script that does just that - that way Google users can still search our DB/TextWorks textbases!

You will need to manually add these two JavaScript functions to your search screen, and add a call to your submit button, as shown below:

Here's the script:

<script type="text/javascript">
function ConvertOperator(searchstr){
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ AND /g, " & " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ And /g, " & " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ and /g, " & " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ OR /g, " / " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ Or /g, " / " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ or /g, " / " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ NOT /g, " ! " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ Not /g, " ! " ) ;
searchstr = searchstr.replace(/ not /g, " ! " ) ;
return searchstr;
}

function CheckSymbols(){
var qBoxes = document.body.getElementsByTagName("INPUT");
for(x=0; x< qBoxes.length; x++) {
if (qBoxes[x].getAttribute("type")=="text" ) {
qBoxes[x].value=ConvertOperator(qBoxes[x].value);
}
}
}
</script>

and here's the button:

<input type="submit" onClick="JavaScript:CheckSymbols()" value="Search">
